Hi, all!

This is a question about some ancient models from way back. Seeing as how the fine folks here are pretty good about being sticklers for rules and changes to them over the years, I was hoping I could find someone who has some old text about two sets of discontinued models.

First: Space Dwarves

I saw a very old box of figures at the friendly neighborhood gaming store. What was printed on the box? "Space Dwarves: Mercenaries of the 41st Millenium." The box art features very 80's, samurai-looking armor design. Were they a stand-alone army, or (being mercenaries) an all-purpose support squad you could add to any existing army? Did thet have any interesting special rules?

And now: Goff Rockaz

The GW website still has some stock of Goff Rockaz, which come as a set of three guitar-slamming Orks. What kind of units were they, elites, troops, or what? Special rules? I don't suppose anyone has any old stats on them, do they?

That's all for now!

For question number one, see THIS.

As for the Goffik rokkerz... I remember they did have some kind of rule... maybe to do with morale...back in 1ed "ere we go" book I think

I definitely remember the points cost - free

They were just for fun really, but could be used in a game.

Well you inspired some googlin, and I found these two sets of rules:

Neither of these are the orginal rules that I was trying to remember but the second link (rules from 3ed) looks pretty usuable in 5ed

Wow... Thanks, guys!

And.. depending on how much that FLGS wants.. those space dwarves (assuming GW) might be worth picking up and trying to move on here.. Squats are rather pricy ...

-P

i could always use some more troopers for my old Squat army. let me know if they still have it. hell I'll pay ya for it!
